Transport links
The Augsburg exhibition center is located directly on the B 17 and can be reached by train from Augsburg Messe station . There is a tram branch track that is served by special line 9 of the AVV for major events . In addition, the exhibition center is served continuously by bus line 41 (Augsburg-Rotes Tor - Augsburg-Hochfeld - Augsburg-Bergstrasse). The nearest continuously served tram stop is Bukowina Institut / PCI .
Augsburg Messe station
The Augsburg Messe station ( 48 ° 20 ′ 18 ″ N , 10 ° 53 ′ 9 ″ E ) is a barrier-free stop on the Augsburg – Buchloe railway line , which was reopened in 2000 as part of the Interschutz trade fair . The Göggingen stop had existed at the same location since around 1900 , a simple wooden shack without a platform, which was closed and demolished at the end of the 1960s due to insufficient demand.
The station in the tariff area of the Augsburger Verkehrsverbund (AVV) is served by all regional trains that run between Augsburg Central Station and Buchloe (as R7 via Bobingen and Schwabmünchen ) and Landsberg am Lech (as R8 via Klosterlechfeld ). The introduction of the regional rail cycle with the planned expansion to include the S-Bahn has increased the importance of the Augsburg Messe station , which now serves as an important stop for commuters from the Göggingen district .
Station fair of the Augsburg Local Railway
The exhibition grounds are connected to the goods traffic of the Augsburg Local Railway . The own AL-Messe stop has been closed for passenger traffic, but the platform has not been removed.
